I keep getting into arguments about the healthcare system.

I keep getting into arguments about the healthcare system.

Well, just in Ontario, we have more than 300000 more people enrolled in the government health services payment scam than actually live here.  This is a rather typical problem.

Getting any actual health care is rather a chore.  First, you need to get yourself a doctor, and there aren't any.  They will probably say that you can go to the emergency room or a walk-in clinic, which is true...provided they aren't closed for lack of doctors.  We have similar problems getting enough nurses.  The provincial governments are in total control of medical funding, and the training of new doctors and nurses, so the provinces are responsible for the debacle, however you decide it came about.

They will likely point out that you don't get presented with a bill or a demand for insurance info at any point in the Canadian system.

The first is merely disguised in among the taxes.  Not too well in Ontario, where we actually have a special tax that came in a couple of elections ago claimed specifically to cover medical services.

The later is completely false.  You have to present your OHIP card to get services anywhere but an emergency room, and the emergency room will want it later.

Eerie, right?

Canadian myself.  I have yet to see one single SINGLE election where reforming healthcare wasn't one of the top issues.

Ask them, if it's so great, why does it constantly need so much fixing?

That was actually one of the reasons I could never understand why people liked Keynes. The Economic Consequences of Peace struck me as inherently psychopathic when I read it.

And the sick part? people believe this too. Which is why we have all these wars, and all this overspending.

It makes a reasonable threshold for the transition between 'alive' and 'dead' for completely developed people in most (but not all) circumstances, and they're trying to apply it in an inapplicable domain.  Religious people (of all sorts) try to do that sort of thing a lot.
